Red Game Table

(This was supposed to be released in the middle of some December holidays, but various factors including some COVID scares prevented this. However, I've been told that on the liturgical calendar, it's Christmas until Epiphany on January 6, so I'm clear.)

Matryoshka is sent to Arkhangelsk to investigate the mysterious disappearance of some children and the sightings of an odd bearded man who may be the only suspect.

The team goes to a small town to investigate a simple ghost sighting in the woods. Of course, the forests are old and may hold more than ghosts.

This is the best place to start if you're new to Red Game Table or Matryoshka!

A very brief announcement. RGT lives!

Because we were missing too many players for our DW campaign, here's a special release of Call of Cthulhu:

During the Siege of Leningrad, a small Red Army squad is sent into enemy territory to recover supplies when they stumble onto a darker secret buried under the cold and wet soil.

Intro: Katyusha (some electronic remix)

Outro: "Nitsokhn Lid" (Victory Song), Yiddish Glory

On their way to the Okin Islands to help free the Viridians, the gang picks up a new friend, makes some business deals, plans to collectivize the farms, and meets a friend of Germand the worm.

Intro: Michael Sandford
Outro: Grant McPhillips

The gang tries to figure out how to get off of Nacre, finds out what's in the tiny chest Joji found, and meet a new friend with geopolitical significance.

Intro: Michael Sandford
Outro: Grant McPhillips

In order to pay the textile workers back for what they did, the gang infiltrates high society and gets deeper and deeper into the tangled web of interests and capital in Nacre.

Intro music by Michael Sandford
Outro music by Grant McPhillips

Based on the success of their previous caper, the party is hired to help some textile workers secure their jobs in a rapidly industrializing field.

Season 2 of Proles of the Game Table brings you a new campaign set in the fantasy world of Kezia.

In this game, the Proles introduce you to the industrializing city of Nacre, where their characters are hired to break into a mining magnate's private estate and steal a prize flower.

Intro music by Michael Sandford

It ends here (for a bit)!

Division C makes it back to Moscow, where they meet up with Professor Yuzhlek, who knows a few things about what's going on. It's a race against time to find out what hit the university from the sky before an old foe shows back up.

Outro music: "Respawn", Vieveri

(This is Season 0 of Red Game Table and isn't part of the canon of Matryoshka, if you're interested in that sort of thing.)

The GRU gang picks up where they left off, escorting Ms. Marsh onboard the Trans-Siberian Railway en route to Vladivostok. On the way, they investigate spooky sounds and encounter mysterious figures who may not be what they seem....

Outro music: "From The Sea / It Looms", Leon Vynehall

(This is Season 0 of Red Game Table and isn't part of the canon of Matryoshka, if you're interested in that sort of thing.)

ALERT: There is strange audio tearing starting around 15 minutes in, but it only lasts for about 6 or 7 minutes.

Picking up where they left off last time, GRU Division C heads to Tallinn, the capital of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, to investigate an antiques dealer who may know something about what the party found in Siberia. Along the way, they meet up with a local KGB agent (played by our friend Johnny Samyavadi!) and hijinks ensue.

CORRECTION: Most people in Estonia speak Estonian and not Finnish. Estonian is very close to Finnish, but it is a separate language. We regret the error.

Outro music: Prelude in E minor, Gerry Mulligan Sextet

(This is Season 0 of Red Game Table and isn't part of the canon of Matryoshka, if you're interested in that sort of thing.)

GRU Division C (code-named "Matryoshka") is sent on their first assignment: investigate a nuclear missile silo in the frozen north of Siberia which has gone silent.  HEADS UP: A non-player character commits suicide in this episode around the 51 minute mark. It's quick and not lingered on, but if that upsets you, please skip to 00:51:20 or just hit your "advance 30 seconds" button if listening on a podcast app.

Outro music: "All This I Do For Glory" - Colin Stetson
